ABSTRACT:
To implement a solid-state image pickup element in which the peripheral circuit is downsized, there is provided a solid-state image pickup element including a plurality of pixel blocks each having a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, a plurality of transfer switches each having one terminal connected to a corresponding photoelectric conversion element, a signal input portion commonly connected to the other terminal of each of the plurality of transfer switches, and an amplifier connected to the signal input portion, and a scanning circuit for outputting a scanning clock for each pixel block.
